I've looked for a "large" size of these and can't find anything. Is this size large enough for 80 lb ( and above ) aggressive chewers?

No, I have a med/large pitbull mix and it takes her about 30 seconds to a minute to polish one of these off. I give her one about twice a week as a treat and to clean her teeth, but that's all it's good for.

They dont make them for over 74 lbs and actually the box warns not to give them to a dog over 74lbs because gulping down any portion of this treat may be harmful. So apparently us large breed owners will have to brush our large dogs teeth. larger dogs will eat thses in seconds thus negating any "brushing" effect

Spenser is 86 pounds and he managed it but I don't think it has the same affect although he did do some chewing...I would supervise to make sure it doesn't get gobbled down too quickly.

I got this from their website FAQs... "Unfortunately, we don't have a Large size right now, but are now working to develop one. It will be recommended only for dogs that weigh 75 pounds and up."and..."We recommend always following the feeding instructions for the size dog you own. We do not recommend feeding the Mini or Small/Medium size to a dog larger than 74 pounds or a Small/Medium size to a dog under 25 pounds. However, we are working on a Large size."

Our 70 lb black lab is the big orbee fan. She hasnt destroyed one of the small orbees yet. This one is great for playing catch but she really prefers the small two tone orbees witb the raised stuff. I truly think the orbee will last a long time. Good luck & hope pup enjoys.

The large will probably work better for you. It is an excellent product overall Better for a mature dog rather than puppies who like to chew things up!

Personally I order the regular size for my 100lb dog and that works for her. There is also a mini version but I think might be too small for an 80lb dog. Personally I'd rather it be larger than smaller to prevent chocking hazards

I would follow the manufacture recommendation. I purchased the large for my Lab and it is the BEST ball for her. Indestructible!

Most recent ones were about 3-4 inches( you dog size) usually they are 7-12 inches and perfect for large dogs. I was disappointed and I have to monitor them when they chew them.

I have a new Queensland Heeler and have been using the 18 inch ones with great results. She is learning the difference between a 'play bite' and a 'work bite.' Was surprised to see so many responses for use with animals! Will be buying the 23 inch ones today. People keep looking at my bruised upper arms then at my husband. Thanks for the input!

I bought two toys - one small and one for a large dog. My dog weighs about 60 pounds and I always got large dog cozies but now she is old so I am trying the small ones as her chewing is not as good. The large is about dinner plate size....the small is similar size to a beanie baby. These are very strong toys......

I have a 70# pitador. He actually can crush biscuits through the Kong with his jaw to get them out. I find this as good exercise for his busy jaws. No rips or tears in the Classic Large. As mentioned in my review, the opening on the XL is too lbig to hold treats. Med seems small for your lab and your growing husky

It has a better than average life for an aggressive chewer. I have a 90 lb pit bull that loves these. He destroys just about every toy in minutes. These do actually last him a while, so I will buy him one a few times a year. The only thing that I have found that lasts longer for Cider is the large elk antlers that you can buy (whole, not split ones). Those last quite a while (just make sure you get a large enough one - at least 10-12 inches). The smaller ones have a smaller circumference and don't work as well for an aggressive chewer. :D

I would get an extra large. I have a Yorkie and unfortunately even the large was not tough enough to last for more than 2 days. Not that the toy wasn't sturdy enough it was my dog eats through everything. I have not been able to find anything he will not tear in pieces within an half hour.

A large will be fine. They are for 60-130 lbs. I have a 65lb black lab and it fits her just fine. Now if only she wouldn't hate it so bad...works great for keeping her from pulling, but she really gets irritated with it and constantly rubs in her nose on the ground trying to get it off. Good luck! You can't beat this price either.

I got the extra large for my 65 pound Aussie. Also, he is a chewier and I tried the Classic and the Extreme. He definitely needed the Extreme toy. It has lasted a few months, where the Classic he was able to pull pieces from right away. I'm sure you could use the smaller size Kong, but just be aware of how aggressive your dog is as a chewier. The Kong is our dogs favorite toy. It bounces and rolls, and he loves chasing and fetching it. I highly recommend it!!

I got the medium for my 65# pit bull who is a big chewer. The size is just fine for him.

The pound guideline seem unusual. Scroll down mad look at the dimensions of the toys. Those will give you a better idea of what size to get. We have a very chewy Beagle and she tore off the end within a couple days. IF you gave a dog that like to tear things apart I would look at a different type of toy.

I would recommend you the size Large because you can filled it with plenty of stuff and it will fit perfectly to the size of his mouth. You have to purchase the black one since its the hardest one and I believe its the best one for puppies! My dog is 30lbs and I get a Large, its kind of big for her mouth but a Medium would have been too small to fill in with stuff..
